    A unique journey into the Arctic world, its myths and changes 
    Finland’s leading expert on Arctic affairs, Markku Heikkilä shares insights from 25 years of travel, from the northern parts of Canada to the Ob River and from Iceland to Alaska. 
    During his journeys, Heikkilä shatters myths and preconceptions about life in the Arctic. He highlights stories that few people know, such as the Last War of the Khanty People, Alaskan Sámi reindeer and the ballerina in Svalbard. 
    The book dives into landscapes and lives, some of which we are about to lose. It’s about more than our changing climate; the Arctic was once a shared space among different peoples, until the region was swept in a storm of global politics. 
    ”A breathtaking book. It delves deep into the northern world in a smooth and profound way.” – Kulttuuritoimitus online magazine 
    ”Markku Heikkilä has compiled his extensive knowledge and a quarter of a century of travel in eight Arctic countries.” – Kaleva newspaper

But they usually give back more than they take in terms of solitude and a sense of adventure that you just won't find on more civilized waters." —John Gierach

    Philosophical essays on the beauty and meaning of traditional Japanese gardens.
     
    In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. 
     
    Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities. Filled with passages of alluring beauty, this is a truly transcendent book about "experiencing" Japanese design.
